The World's Gone Flat Again (Amore)

Daybreak

Half awake

Mesmerized by the river

My mind's sore to the core

A chill in my bones brings a shiver

Rain pours

Thunder snores

Loud enough to beat the band

Inside, the kettle screams

The world's gone flat again

Here's to hope and humanity

Pray the boats begin to lift

The one last truth that still stands a chance

Is the one we can't resist

Amore

Day's end

Shadows bend

To the will-o'-the-wisp

The nightingale sings her song

The one that begins with a kiss

Amore
